Ian Roberts to facilitate discussion.
Minutes:
Ian Roberts facilitated a discussion regarding the leadership role of Board Members and asked groups to consider how the Board Members could use their roles within their respective authorities and organisations to strengthen the Health and Wellbeing Strategy and achieve the objectives that will be set out in the Strategy. Each group discussed the subject and feedback the following:
Things all Groups liked
· Deliverable Interventions.
· The priority outcomes seem more or less right.
· Life course approach – something for everyone.
· Inter-related interventions.
· Early intervention.
· Narrow the gap in healthy life expectancy.
· Long term objectives are to be made clear.
· Four priorities – a good size and manageable.
Recommendations from all Groups
· Engage provider organisations in the Strategy and delivery.
· Identify the levers in the system to bring about the shifts.
· Provide opportunities to learn from good practice and up-scale across the County.
· Disseminate our priorities widely.
· Reflect these priorities in our own strategic and commissioning plans.
· Focus on loneliness in old age to be made sharper – possibly get Help Direct in every GP's surgery across the County by the end of the year.
· Partners need to take ownership of the Strategy and also sign off the Strategy.
· Alcohol intervention – recommend specific projects be used to target this specifically.
· Engage provider organisations – include them in the commissioning plans.
· Provide opportunities wherever you live – ensure all residents of the County receive the same level of services.
· For each priority the Board needs to map existing services and how the existing services can be developed around each priority.
· Arrange workshops on the strategy for the Third Sector.
· All Board members should go back to the various Boards and Committees that they sit on and take the recommendations forward.
· District Council members should go back to their District Leaders and discuss support for the Strategy.
· "Train the Trainers" – create a "champion" within each organisation.
